An Effective Resume is Essential

Eager

Unhappy

with your job, boss, career prospects or employer and want to move on?

Frustrated

angry and baffled because you've applied for jobs you know you can do, but haven't been getting interviews?

Anxious

to secure your next job quickly because you were recently retrenched?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, the solution is to make sure that employers know that you are what they need with a resume that sets you apart. In today's increasingly competitive employment market, your resume is more important than ever. If your resume is written effectively, you will:

Get Interviews

for jobs you want and know you can do.

Be Asked

for interviews for jobs in organisations in which you want to work.

Maximise

your chances of getting a new job quickly if you have recently been retrenched.

Influence

recruitment consultants about where to place you.

Convince

recruitment consultants to submit your resume to their clients.

Your resume determines the number of interviews you get, influences the quality of the jobs you are offered and plays a pivotal role in the salary you can command.

If you do not have a well-written resume, you significantly increase the risk of being overlooked for the career opportunities you want and deserve. This is because your resume must be written in a way that make it easy for hiring managers to identify that you are what they are looking for. To do this, you need to understand how hiring managers think when assessing candidates. If you can get inside the heads of the decision makers, you have an edge.

Services

Resume Overhaul

A re-write, re-format and re-design of your resume to ensure that it provides employers and recruitment consultants with the information they need in the way they need it so you can confidently compete for the best jobs in the best organisations where the competition is toughest.

Selection Criteria

Your responses to selection criteria will be composed in a compelling and persuasive way to maximise your chances of convincing selection panels that you have what it takes to contribute at the next level.

Interview Coaching

You will rapidly learn a unique framework to ensure you are fully prepared for interviews and techniques that enable you to manage the interview process to your best advantage, founded on the approaches adopted by highly successful candidates.

Resume Update

(updating a resume that I have prepared for you during the past three or four years)
Updating your resume ensures you will always be prepared for career opportunities if you want to leave your current employer, if your job becomes redundant, if your employer goes belly up or if your employer merges with another organisation and you no longer feel that you fit with the new culture or with your new boss (or both).

LinkedIn Profile Overhaul

A LinkedIn Profile is virtually a must have. It should be designed to optimise your chances of being 'seen' by the people you want to see it. While it should be tightly aligned with the content of your resume, there are some subtle and not so subtle differences in the way your experience and accomplishments should be expressed, the tone and the level of detail.

Late last year you wrote a selection criteria for me for a position with *** I just thought I’d let you know that I was successful in getting an interview and also getting the job. There were 29 applications and 8 people were interviewed. The panel advised me that my written application scored the highest points.

Many thanks for your sterling effort on my behalf. Your work certainly exceeded my expectations. I was delighted with it. You managed with admirable style and chutzpah to transform my dreary dossier into a pithy pertinent and readable Professional Profile. It’s a pleasure to do business with you!

Mitsuri

…sorry about the delay in getting back to you. The upshot is – I’m absolutely delighted with what you did on my CV and have already used it with positive results (most recently with Morgan and Banks). If you ever want to refer a client to me for comment, I’d be more than happy to provide very positive feedback on the value of your work.

Thanks for your wonderful resume. I’ve had more interviews with your help in the past two weeks than I’ve ever had.

This is excellent, money well spent. Everything looks good.
